Hypothetical Example of A Bank Balance Sheet and Financial Ratios
An example of fractional-reserve banking, and the calculation of the "reserve ratio" is shown in the balance sheet below:
Example 2: ANZ National Bank Limited Balance Sheet as at 30 September 2007 | |||
---|---|---|---|
ASSETS | NZ$m | LIABILITIES | NZ$m |
Cash | 201 | Demand Deposits | 25482 |
Balance with Central Bank | 2809 | Term Deposits and other borrowings | 35231 |
Other Liquid Assets | 1797 | Due to Other Financial Institutions | 3170 |
Due from other Financial Institutions | 3563 | Derivative financial instruments | 4924 |
Trading Securities | 1887 | Payables and other liabilities | 1351 |
Derivative financial instruments | 4771 | Provisions | 165 |
Available for sale assets | 48 | Bonds and Notes | 14607 |
Net loans and advances | 87878 | Related Party Funding | 2775 |
Shares in controlled entities | 206 | Loan Capital | 2062 |
Current Tax Assets | 112 | Total Liabilities | 99084 |
Other assets | 1045 | Share Capital | 5943 |
Deferred Tax Assets | 11 | Reserves | 83 |
Premises and Equipment | 232 | Retained profits | 2667 |
Goodwill and other intangibles | 3297 | Total Equity | 8703 |
Total Assets | 107787 | Total Liabilities plus Net Worth | 107787 |
In this example the cash reserves held by the bank is NZ$3010m (NZ$201m Cash + NZ$2809m Balance at Central Bank) and the Demand Deposits (liabilities) of the bank are NZ$25482m, for a cash reserve ratio of 11.81%.

Famous quotes containing the words bank, balance, sheet, financial and/or ratios:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“They relieve and recommend each other, and the sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities. She punishes abstractionists, and will only forgive an induction which is rare and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“A speck that would have been beneath my sight
On any but a paper sheet so white
Set off across what I had written there.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
